xbox: you got 50% less chance for burnt out ssd when you got 50% less storage

lol, even at only 3rd gen x4 is ~3500MB/s vs ~550MB/s.
not sure where you get 1s difference, unless of course you play 8 bit games..

wow that was fast on day one the reports started...
I tried to order one at walmart.com and could not get past "review and order" button and by time I could get it to load to submit it was sold out so I guess my bank is saved 540$ for now

Cmon gurus, benchmarks showing no difference in sata VS nvme game loading is akin to pentium VS i9 in portal 2
As soon as next gen games show up expecting nvme drives, hdd will be unplayable and sata nand will choke on low textures, it's already a thing, star citizen is unplayable on hdd

They praised how fast it is not how durable.

It's true the new drives are expensive but so is lot of hardware nowadays, like mobos for ex. though they feature so much more now.
End of the day i for one ain't buying a plastic looking white elephant to play spiderman on, i'm actually leaning towards xbox if i get a console now after seeing how ps5 looks. Even in black i dunno if it would look less plastic.
That being said it would need to be one whopper of a game for the $500 admittance fee.

Sadly it could be poor coding of something on Sony's part and have nothing to do with the SSDs themselves.
A company I worked at some years back, they were making use of NUCs for some of their clients and the company had been working on writing some security software to prevent unwanted access to their programs, should someone physically steal a NUC or just try to access one at the physical store location. The company wanted to make sure that their proprietary software was locked down to prevent access to it so no one could steal it because they were one of the first companies to offer this product.
I don't recall the specifics of the situation, but something they did with the creation of their security software kept reading and writing, over and over and over and over and over and over again and it was causing the SSDs to have errors after a few months of a new NUC being in operation due to massive amounts of read/writes happening.
Issues that would come up on the monitors for customers from this problem:
No storage space message in Windows
BSODs
Proprietary software crashes
Loss of network issues
Eventually a lot of the NUCs started showing messages about no boot device. It took the company a bit of digging to find out that they screwed up with the security software they wrote for their proprietary software. It took them about 6 months to re-write their security software from the ground up to fix the issue. In the mean time, myself and the other senior technicians had the job of baby sitting the few thousand NUCs out there by remoting into the computers when the proprietary software didn't call home or when customers called with issues. Eventually all NUCs had to be replaced simply because of the failing SSDs from the massive amounts of read/writes happening, it was inevitable. Once the fixed security software was working as intended myself and the other senior techs had the fun job of remoting into thousands of devices to uninstall the old security software and re-install the new security software.....and it wasn't a simple uninstall from the Control Panel, either. It actually required someone to have physical access to the NUCs because for some stupid reason the security software, once accessed killed network connectivity and someone physically had to use a mouse and keyboard to input the daily random password generated at the company's end....huge pain in the butt all around.

So? This things happen all the time. I always say, stopped raiding the stores at launch, wait a batch. Beta testing in house has nothing on real life testing.
